Delicious Fried Rice Recipe

20161207_112350

If you are craving a yummy, healthy Chinese recipe, then you have come to the right place!  My family loves this fried rice recipe, and I often like to put it on top of lettuce leaves for a little added crunch.  It is also a great way to get lots of veggies into your kids!

CHINESE FRIED RICE

2-3 TBS Sesame Oil

1 small head of Cabbage chopped

2-3 Shredded carrots

2 cups of frozen corn

2 cups of frozen peas

1 chopped yellow onion or 3 small chives chopped

1 tsp ginger

1 tsp Kirkland Organic No Salt Seasoning

½ tsp kelp (optional)

¼ tsp garlic powder

½ c Bragg liquid Aminos

¼ c water

2 cups of brown rice

3-4 eggs scrambled

Soak two cups of brown rice in water and 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar overnight.  This helps to get rid of the phytic acid and makes the rice easier to digest.  After it has soaked, cook the brown rice with four cups of water in a pot for about 30 min, or put in rice cooker with about 3 cups of water for the time allotted on the rice cooker.

While the rice is cooking, chop up the veggies and place the sesame oil and the veggies in a large pan and start cooking them until soft.

In a separate bowl, combine the Bragg Liquid Aminos, the ¼ c water, and the other herbs and mix.

Once the veggies are soft, add the cooked brown rice and the sauce and then mix.  You can then scramble the eggs in the same pan or in a separate pan and then combine.

I love this topped on top of fresh lettuce and I also love to add a little crushed red pepper on top for a little kick.

Are You Feeling A Lack of Abundance?

31182399925_0521b858a8_k

During the Christmas Season, you may be noticing the feeling of a lack of money or success.  Maybe there is a feeling of being downtrodden with the economy.  As I ponder on gratitude, I realize that for many years I had certain beliefs that I believe many people may also be experiencing.  The great thing about paying attention to our thoughts is we can recognize these beliefs and change them.  This will create a shift in our relationship with money.

Here are a few of the beliefs that we may be holding:

1. Lack of money mentality.  We have been brought up with the belief that there is never enough money.  Do any of these beliefs sound familiar:  I can’t afford that.  How am I going to pay these bills?  Why don’t I have enough money to do what I want?  I never have enough money.  We don’t have any money.

2. Complaining about each expense.  Do we oftentimes find ourselves complaining about each expense as it comes in?  We may not say it aloud, but we may be thinking: oh man, why do I have to pay that?  Some other examples of thoughts we may be creating: Why is gas so expensive?  Not rent again.  I wish I didn’t have to pay this.  I hate it when all of my hard earned money goes to this bill.

3. Greed.  Do we get caught up in ourselves and what we want and need and find ourselves compromising to get what we feel we are “entitled” to?  Is our mentality only what’s in it for us?  Are we finding ourselves having a hard time parting with money and not using it to give back?

Ponder on these thoughts and see what thoughts are coming up about money and abundance.  Pay attention as you interact with money and see if you notice any of these beliefs coming up.  Remember not to get down on yourself for these beliefs, but recognize them and realize you are ready to shift them to create more abundance.

Look At Your Life Because It Is A Reflection of Your Beliefs

What we are experiencing right now, started with our thoughts and beliefs.  If you are always experiencing the lack of money, then we must look at our beliefs to shift our experience with money.  By changing these beliefs, we open our heart to the abundance that God wants us to experience.

Now I am going to explain the quality of money.  For many years, money has been misused.  It has been used in greed and selfish ways.  It has been used in ingratitude.  Money is tired of being used this way.  That is why we are seeing all the economic collapses.  It is tired of being misused and wants to be honored in its true form of gratitude.

Money is really a form of gratitude.  Every time we give it to someone, we are thanking them for their service or product we are receiving.  Whenever someone is paying us, they are essentially thanking us for our services or product we provide.  What if each time we paid for groceries we thought about money as a form of thanking the store for our groceries.

“As you become aware of how rich life is with blessings, your attitude toward life shifts.  Simple gratitude tells the Universe that you appreciate life’s gifts and are open to receive more gifts.  It shifts your energies from an attitude of lack to an attitude of receptivity and thanksgiving.  Learn to see the Divine givingness at work in your life.”  The Heart of Abundance by Candy Paull

Today I want to offer the Abundance Challenge.  Please share this challenge with your family and friends as well because it will help to raise the gratitude energy in our homes and in our communities and we will see an amazing transformation take place.

The Challenge

The Abundance Challenge is simple but powerful.  The key to this challenge is to first, recognize the old belief and then decide to choose the new belief of Gratitude.  Then experience the feeling of gratitude, and I mean really feel it in your heart.  Here are some ideas that will help you to experience this new belief of gratitude.

Every time you pay a bill write thank you on the bill and really feel in your heart the gratitude for that service or product provided.  If you are paying with a card and can’t write it, just say thank you inside and really feel the gratitude.  For example, feel the gratitude the next time you pay that gas bill and feel how grateful you are that they provided gas so you could have a warm home.

Every time you transact with a customer or client, thank them and feel the gratitude in your heart that they are using your services.

Every time you find yourself complaining about a bill, shift it and realize how grateful you are that the company provided the service for you.

Every time you feel a lack of money, shift it to gratitude for the abundance you do have. (I am grateful I had enough money to put gas in my vehicle or fix the heater, etc.)

Make a gratitude wall or book where anyone can write what they are thankful for.  Invite others to add their gratitude to the wall or book.

Find a way to give back; after all, we have plenty of abundance to share.

I hope you will take on this gratitude challenge and see all the abundance we all have that we may not be recognizing.  I can’t wait to hear your stories of what happened when you took on the Abundance challenge so please share them with me.

Support Local Farmers – SueAnne’s Garden

Have you tasted the difference between grocery store vegetables and farm fresh vegetables?  There is such a huge difference in taste.  I always think that someone who doesn’t really like vegetables may actually fall in love with them when they purchase them from a local farm.

Today I want to take you to a fun little farm in Salem, UT where you can pick your own vegetables.  I took my family there and it was so much fun.

SueAnne’s Garden is filled mostly with organic vegetables.  What a great way to feed your growing family with all of the fresh vegetables that are free from pesticides.  It is important for us to eat food that is free of strange chemicals and pesticides to create a healthy inner environment.  When we are consuming foods with many strange chemicals, it really affects how we feel and it can create a foggy brain and disrupt our hormone balance.

We got to meet SueAnne who is so friendly.  She loves what she does.  She grew up on a farm so she knows farm life and how to raise crops.  This is her life and she loves every minute of it so you can be sure that these vegetables are grown with love.

When we visit her farm, it is so much fun to bring the whole family.  It really teaches our children where the food comes from and they get to help pick it.  I remember when my son’s scout group was going to Chick-Fil-A to learn about their process and their jobs.   I did not want my son to go to it because I didn’t really want him learning about his food that way.  So this has been a great way to teach each of my children how important it is to get fresh food straight from the farm.  SueAnne even teaches us how to pick it and what to look for to make sure it is the best to pick.

I also love supporting the local farmers.  If we can learn to support the local farmers, our community will be greatly blessed. Not only do we get fresh food, but we also get some great farmers that are able to continue to support our community.  Having the local farmers close by means that we can be a stronger self reliant community and we are keeping more of the money local which boosts our local economy.

SueAnne’s Garden is beautiful and they take great care to make sure we get the best vegetables.  Some of the vegetables they grow are zucchini, squash, kale, tomatoes, cabbage, green beans, onions, peppers, and beets.  Their grape tomatoes are so sweet they seem like candy to me.

Be sure to like her FaceBook page at https://www.facebook.com/SueAnnesGarden/ and also come out and visit her garden and see for yourself.  750 N Main Salem, UT 84653, 801-369-9754.

 

Vaxxed – Why I care so much about this movie

syringe-435809_1280

I have been called names and yelled at for my beliefs many times.  People have belittled me for choosing a different path.  My own family has made fun of me and put me down for wanting something different.  But there is one thing I know: when truth is presented, we have the choice to keep living our lives the way we have always lived them or we have the choice to stand for truth.  I cannot back down from truth no matter how many times I am ridiculed.  That is why I love supporting the movie Vaxxed.

I love children!  Children are my life.  Even as a young child, my goal was to be a mom when I grew up.  I have always had a special place in my heart for children.  We all want to protect our children from diseases.  We all want our children to be healthy and strong.  Let me back up a little.

The birth plan for my first-born child went out the door when my son made his arrival seven weeks early via a life-saving emergency C-section. He remained in the hospital for a month where he developed and grew.

As a new mother, I wanted the best for my baby.  I took him to the doctor for each of his appointments where they gave him every required shot.  When my doctor told me my son needed extra shots because premature babies are more susceptible to the whooping cough, I of course agreed.  I didn’t realize I had a choice.  It’s just what we do for our children.

Then my child developed repeated ear infections; it seemed like he was always sick and on antibiotics.  We even got tubes in his ears to help them drain, but he never got better.  I asked myself, “Why is this not helping my child?  What else can I do to help my son be healthy?”  I knew there had to be a better way.

During this time a new book came out called Natural Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About.  I felt like I needed to read it to get some answers.  Natural Cures marked the beginning of my awakening to a new world of healing.  It taught me that I am responsible for my own health as well as the health of my family. It was a major eye opener for me.  After finishing Natural Cures, I would walk down the grocery store aisles and think to myself  “I can’t buy any of this junk.  This whole grocery store is nothing but fake food.”  I knew I had to find a new way to do things if my family and I were going to be healthy.

Part of my awakening included the study of vaccines. The more I researched them, the less I liked my doctors and nurses injecting my children with them.  I fearfully told them no—the fear of what if.  The nurses told me that if I didn’t vaccinate my child that he could catch diseases and spread them to other people.  It was a scary time for me because I knew that vaccine ingredients are not safe, but I was also afraid that my child might get sick if he didn’t get the vaccines.  I stood my ground even though fear was in the back of my mind.  I sensed that my child could not be healthy if he continued to be injected with vaccines.  I decided I would just stay quiet because I didn’t want other people telling me I was a bad mother for saying no to vaccines.

As I continued on the holistic path, I saw more and more vaccine-injured children.  My heart broke with every encounter. Would I let my fear of others prevent me from sharing what I knew to be true? Would I stand up and be a voice for these children?

The movie Vaxxed reaffirmed my decision to speak out. It gives a voice to vaccine-injured children and to their parents.  That’s one of the reasons I love the documentary so much.

Last night I attended the final screening of Vaxxed in a full house at the Thanksgiving Point Megaplex. I, like hundreds of other people, walked away knowing that we have the right and the responsibility to stand up for our medical freedoms.  These freedoms are being taken away.  Vaccine mandates are now the law in California. The citizens of Utah recently defeated a vaccine-related bill that would have made it more difficult for parents to claim vaccine exemptions.

Many people tell me about the importance of herd immunity.  If we don’t vaccinate our children then we can’t maintain herd immunity and there will be disease outbreaks.  But in reality, we’ve never met the definition of vaccine-based herd immunity.  We as adults were vaccinated as children so those vaccines have long since worn off. We may be vaccinated, but we are not immune to disease.  The theory of herd immunity can only work if 95% of “the herd”—everyone, including adults—was recently vaccinated. The government is already using that argument to justify the implementation of mandatory vaccines for adults as well as for children.

Fear is running the vaccine industry.  We have to decide if we are going to give into that fear.

I have also had people tell me that vaccine injury rarely occurs and it’s well worth the risk. Vaccine injury is not rare.

20160609_205419       20160609_205422

The people standing in the photos are parents and family members of vaccine-injured children.  It’s time to advocate for these families and to demand a vaccine program that places the interest of children ahead of the interest of profit.

Vaxxed is not anti-vaccine.  It’s pro-safety and pro-medical freedom. We are blessed to live in a free country with God at its head.  Vaccine mandates are anti-freedom and anti-American. We have an obligation to preserve the freedom others died to give us.

In a free country, vaccination must remain a personal choice. Where there is risk, there must be choice. And as we saw in Vaxxed, when that risk is compounded with fraud, there must also be choice. The CDC has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted.  Vaccines are not universally safe. Vaccine injury is at an all time high.

Even the strongest vaccine advocates must acknowledge that CDC fraud is intolerable. If the vaccine program is going to continue, it will do so because we the people will hold our elected officials accountable to clean up government corruption. If the vaccine program fails, it won’t be vaccine-informed parents that bring it down; it will be the vaccine advocates that refuse to see and to fix our very broken vaccine program.

 

 

The Truth About Cancer Docu-series Is Coming Back

Last fall I got the opportunity to watch the docu-series The Truth About Cancer.  It was one of the most important documentaries that I have watched.  There was so much great information on how to treat and prevent cancer.

Just before the first airing of the Truth About Cancer, my mother had just passed away from cancer.  It was one of the hardest times in my life to watch her suffer through chemotherapy and radiation.  This movie gave me hope that people don’t have to suffer when they are diagnosed with cancer.

I loved how we can find healing without having to use chemo and radiation.  This documentary gave so many valuable tips on where to go and what to use to treat cancer.  The medical industry does not want us to know that we have other options to treat cancer.  The documentary talks about how in California it is illegal for a medical doctor to recommend an alternative treatment to cancer.

It important to watch and support this amazing documentary because we need others to know that there is hope.  When my mother was diagnosed with cancer, she was told her cancer was stage 4.  When a doctor gives you that kind of diagnosis and tells you to start chemo right away, all hope diminishes.   All that it creates is fear.  Especially when you know how horrible chemo is and what it does to the body.  We need hope for a brighter future that our children and our grandchildren will no longer have to suffer and this series give us hope.

For those who are suffering or know someone who is suffering from cancer, this docu-series is so important to watch and share.  We are in a pandemic where people are suffering and dying because they do not know that there is another way.  I loved this series and I have already started reading and watching it again after I purchased the film and written documentation.

I also love how this docu-series teaches us how to prevent cancer.  I have gained knowledge on steps I need to take in my life to prevent cancer.  It is great that I can implement them right away and help protect my family.  It is so important for us to be proactive in our health now instead of waiting until we have a disease or sickness.  It is easy to not take care of our bodies, and then find ourselves wondering how we got there, so we need to consciously create health in our lives.

The Truth About Cancer Docu-series will begin airing again on April 12th, 2016.  It is available to watch for free for a limited time so be sure to sign up http://go.thetruthaboutcancer.link/?a_aid=56fe93136ff94

I Am Changing the World

plant in hands

There has been a lot of recent changes in Utah that has caused a lot of conflict in the news and in social media.  When I first read about it and saw what people were saying, my first thoughts were on how judgmental many of the comments were.  I thought, how could people jump to such conclusions and not try to find out more information before judging.   Why can’t people just be more understanding of one another instead of bashing each other.

As I was pondering on these thoughts, a favorite song from Michael Jackson popped into my head.

I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

At that moment, I realized that I needed to look a little deeper.  Am I judging others quickly?  Am I jumping to conclusions many times before I know what is going on?  Do I have my own thoughts, my own anger that is taking me farther away from God rather than bringing me closer to God?

The answer was definitely a yes, and so you see today I am changing the world.  I am looking in the mirror to see my own shortcomings.  I am choosing to be kinder, more understanding, and clearing old anger and beliefs.  I am choosing to clean my own window instead of complaining of how dirty someone else’s window is.   I am choosing to be accountable because I know that I get to choose what I create, and I have decided that I want to create something better.

I want to create love, not anger.  I want to create understanding instead of judgment.  I want to create peace, but I can only change the world if I change myself.  So today I am changing the world.
